Just finished watering and rearranging all my babies. :-)

Top pics are of my newest addition. An echeveria. It had four bloom stalks on it and I just couldn't resist. Is that little bit in the top left pic another bloom stalk coming up or what? I just got it in gritty mix so I hope it just keeps growing. :-)

Bottom pics show some nice growth. The Crassula is a new addition and I'm happy to see that it has a lil rosette coming and the burros tail is just exploding since I got it outside and in some direct sun.

Top left is a newer addition. I've been told it's called "little Debby" something or other. I've noticed that the bottom leaves are just a little sad looking and have been for weeks. It's in gritty mix and is watered appropriately. I just font understand why it isn't perking up! :(

Also, anyone got an id on the top right one?

This is the last pic that I have a question about. This guy got all etiolated so I cut the top rosette, rooted it and let the main plant do it's thing. Except it's thing is to do this. Over and over again. The new rosette will sprout it's own roots eventually and appear to be begging to get in the dirt. The rest of this stem doesn't sprout any new rosettes. Just looks like this. Any ideas to get this guy looking better?

The top right is string of beads (senecio rowleyanus)

Actually, the picture LilBit is referring to is Senecio radicans aka String of Bananas.

Thanks Nancy!

Thanks y'all. That makes me giggle a little. String of bananas!

I have another question. When do y'all start bringing your plants in. It's already getting down to the 50s at night here. I was thinking of keeping them out as long as possible. I've read that they can tolerate as low as 20 degrees. So I'm thinking once it hits 25 or 30 to bring them in. Thoughts???

50s are OK (not ideal, but OK) for all but the most tender species/genera, but I'll be bringing mine in this month (later this month, however). There always seems to be a freak cold snap in the beginning of October that does some plants in, so I'll get out the transport tubs and the ibuprofen and commence to schlep.

I have not yet figured out which are more sensitive and which can tough it out. I'm just wanting to find the balance between the pros and cons of being outside (i.e. Direct sunlight vs cold nights)

I am still hoping for some tips on my little Debby & the echeveria if anyone has some input. Both are in Al's gritty mix & are watered every 3 days or so.
